Introducing the New Testament is an outstanding guide to the
writings of the New Testament for readers ranging from Bible
students to those approaching the Christian Scriptures for the
first time. Written by three leading Bible specialists, this book
discusses in a clear and balanced way the New Testament's
literature, its message, and the issues raised by a careful reading
of its pages. Wonderfully readable and well supplied with maps and
photographs, this volume is both an ideal textbook for courses
covering the New Testament and a superb introduction for general
readers wanting authoritative, straight-forward instruction on the
writings of the New Testament. Unlike other New Testament
introductions that are primarily concerned with historical-critical
issues or with what scholars have said, this book gets directly to
the business of explaining the New Testament's background, content,
and theology. The authors do not presume that readers need to be
familiar with scholarly debates about the New Testament, nor do
they assume those debates have necessarily raised the most
important issues. Instead, this book is aimed at putting the
message of the Christian Scriptures back within the reach of
general readers. Although informed by the current scholarship in
the history, traditions, and literature of the New Testament, this
book is primarily designed to induct readers of the New Testament
into sensitive appreciation and serious awareness of its major
figures and concerns.After explaining the nature of the New
Testament and the world in which it was written, the authors
thoroughly discuss each of the twenty-seven books of the New
Testament. The content and essential message of these ancient works
are described in simple but dynamic language that reveals why they
continue to inspire and challenge readers today. Separate chapters
also explore the types of literature found in the New Testament,
the life and teachings of Jesus, Paul's life and world, and the
formation of the New Testament canon. In addition, numerous
sidebars offer a wealth of fascinating and highly relevant
background information that helps modern readers more fully grasp
biblical themes. No other work on the New Testament is so
accessible and enjoyable to use.
